Sharing Header and Footer Info/Multiple Docs

M

Michael

Hi Folks - I am working on a project that involves creating numerous mail
merge docs. Each mail merge doc is based on its own main doc template (.dot)
file. After creating almost one hundred documents, I was asked to place a
particular merge field in the footer of the documents. In anticipation of a
request of placing another field in the footer or header, I'd like to
develop a method where all the main doc templates are based on a generic
template where I can easily add header and footer info. In that way, if I do
get another request to add info to all docs, I can easily make the change in
the generic template, and it would be propagated to all my docs. Any
thought/ideas? Thanks.

You could create an AutoText entry with the required contents. Then, for each
document, insert an AUTOTEXTLIST field, which can be updated to reflect
changes in the AutoText entry.
